20 Civilians Killed in Niger Gang Massacre
Israa Farhan At least 20 civilians were killed in a massacre carried out by armed gangs in western Niger, according to local sources on Saturday. The attack took place on Thursday near the gold mining area of Koumbango in Tillabéri region, where terrorist groups are highly active. The victims, travelling on a truck from the town of Mehanna, were ambushed by the assailants. Witnesses reported that the attackers forced all passengers out of the vehicle before separating 19 men, executing them with gunfire, and then killing the driver. The truck was later set on fire. Two women survived the assault, while two other passengers managed to escape. Local outlet Niger Scoop confirmed the death toll, reporting that about 20 people lost their lives in the massacre. The Tillabéri region lies within the border triangle between Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali, an area long plagued by violence from armed groups linked to al-Qaeda and ISIS. Niger continues to face escalating insecurity as extremist groups target civilians in rural areas. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated

Escalation in Gaza, West Bank as Israeli strikes continue amid mounting international criticism
The armed wings of Palestine's Hamas and Islamic Jihad movements said on Saturday they had shelled Israeli military command posts in the Gaza Strip, as tensions on the ground escalated alongside intensifying international criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades said it struck an Israeli command-and-control site on the Salah Al-Din axis south of Rafah, while Islamic Jihad's Al-Quds Brigades claimed mortar fire on another command post in Gaza City's Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported the crash of a small military reconnaissance drone in northern Gaza. The Times of Israel said the Skylark 3 drone, manufactured by Elbit Systems, suffered a technical malfunction and 'landed unexpectedly' in Gaza's Al-Rimal district. The Israeli army downplayed the incident, saying there was 'no fear of information leakage.' The drone model has previously crashed in hostile areas. The humanitarian toll in Gaza continued to climb. The Health Ministry reported 11 more deaths from starvation and malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including one child. This brought the total famine-related death toll to 251, among them 108 children. Separately, Gaza's government media office accused Israel of bombing the grounds of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir Al-Balah for the 13th time since the war began, calling it a deliberate assault on the health sector and a violation of international law. Political pressure on Netanyahu is also mounting abroad. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen described him as 'a problem in himself,' pledging to use Denmark's upcoming EU presidency to push for sanctions. In comments to Jyllands-Posten, she said her government would back measures ranging from political pressure to trade and research restrictions, citing Israel's 'crossing of boundaries' and the 'catastrophic' humanitarian crisis in Gaza. In a phone call, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his German counterpart Johann Wadephul expressed alarm over Israeli policies, warning that rhetoric about a 'Greater Israel' and new settlement plans threatened regional stability. Abdelatty reiterated Egypt's rejection of Israel's aid blockade, calling the starvation of Palestinians a grave breach of international law. A joint statement by the foreign ministers of 31 Arab and Muslim states condemned Netanyahu's remarks on 'Greater Israel,' branding them a direct threat to Arab national security and international peace. The statement vowed to pursue policies that support peace while rejecting 'illusions of domination.' Meanwhile, Hamas rejected its inclusion on the UN Secretary-General's blacklist of groups accused of sexual violence in conflict, calling the designation baseless and politically motivated. It argued the listing relied solely on Israeli allegations without independent investigation. With the conflict intensifying on multiple fronts, Netanyahu faces growing isolation abroad and mounting domestic pressure, while humanitarian agencies warn Gaza's crisis will worsen unless a ceasefire is reached to guarantee aid flows and halt settlement expansion.

Sudan Inks $1.5B Defense Deal with Pakistan
Yara Sameh Lieutenant General Pilot Al-Tahir Mohamed Al-Awad Al-Amin, Commander of the Sudanese Air Force, accompanied by the Commander of Air Defense and members of the Sudanese Defense Industries Organization, paid an official visit to Pakistan. During the visit, the Sudanese delegation held meetings with the Pakistani Minister of Defense, the Commander of the Pakistani Air Force, and a number of senior military officials. Media outlets reported that the discussions resulted in the signing of a massive defense contract with a value of over $1.5 billion between the Sudanese defense industries and the Pakistani side. The deal covers: • 10 K-8 Karakorum trainer/light attack aircraft • 20 Shahpar-2 UAVs • 150 YIHA-III UAVs • 50 MR-10K UAVs • 50 Ababeel-5 UAVs • Engines for MiG-21 fighter jets • 150 ASV Mohafiz armored vehicles • HQ-9 and HQ-6 air defense systems The reports indicate that the contract may be financed by a third party due to its size, reflecting the Sudanese army's adherence to a military solution to the regional conflict and the lack of progress towards negotiations. On the other hand, observers believe that the growing defense cooperation between Sudan and Pakistan comes within a broader regional context witnessing strengthening defense relations between Pakistan and Turkey, a prominent ally of the Sudanese army. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid Videos & Features Story behind Trending Jessica Radcliffe Death Video News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt News The Jessica Radcliffe Orca Attack? 100% Fake and AI-Generated
